Hey, let’s be at least somewhat accurate here; I see a few islands remaining. They’re just critically endangered at this point.

Really? Look at the european-asian border.
Oh and there are no penguins north of the equator (except the Galapagos penguin endemic to the Galapagos Islands).
those could easily be auks instead 
you do make a good point about Russia being counted as part of Asia, but then it also shows the Sinai Peninsula as part of Africa. devil's advocate, they were probably simplifying it to "this country goes to whatever continent it has the most territory in" and that would mean that Egypt is portrayed as solely African and Russia as solely Asian

Also, the entire range of the Koala is in *Eastern* Australia, there are no palm trees in the area of the Southern of the two palm trees in in Australia (that's Alice Springs area)
And Cactus do not occur in Africa, that's a New World only family.
But even with all of those together, I'm just not sure it reaches "Horrible".
actually, there are cacti in Africa now, as invasive species mainly in Morocco iirc
Also note the French-Italian border.
And Luxembourg? There is no Luxembourg. It was just a myth.
Hey, it's never too late to start with Atlantropa (OK, maybe it's the wrong end of the Med to dam up but the idea wasn't really that well thought through anyways)
All the land from the removal of Sicily (and Sardinia, maybe) had to go somewhere!
That would explain why the european part of Turkey is in Asia... I don't think you can see it quite good on the pic, but it looks pretty weird irl. Like I said, I've seen worse. I agree that it's not horrible, but I wanted to share it anyway.those could easily be auks instead
Oh and in Dutch the continent Australia is usually called Oceanië:
from wiki
Yeah, I found 'Australië' a bit strange too, considering it included non-Australian nations. Nice gif. Reminds me of a not-entirely-serious conversation I had once in which we debated what a 'continent' was; at one point we were defining it as a land-mass over a certain size which was entirely connected by land, which gave us lots and lots of islands not part of continents (New Zealand, Japan, GB, Iceland, Madagascar, etc, etc) plus just four continents - Antarctica, America, Australia and another which needed some sort of horribly contrived name - Afropia/Eurasica/Afreurasia/etc. Like I say, not entirely serious...
I like how at the end he faded in the countries that weren't mentioned.
